Application December 27, 1932 Y i Serial' No.k 649,021 f 1 claim. l(01.1%,8-4 soi This invention relates to certain novel improvements in supporting devices, and has for its principal object the provision of an improved construction of this character which will be highly efficient in facture.

clamped to horizontal supporting `rods of various diameters. Other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter. Y

The invention consists in the novel combinationand arrangement of parts'V to be hereinafter described and claimed. 'Y Y The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, showing the preferred form of construction, and in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspectiveview of a preferredform` Fig. 2 is a sectional view on Fig. 3 isa horizontal sectional view on inFig.2; Y v

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modification of the invention; and

Fig'. 5 is a sectional'view on line 5-5in Fig. 4. v ,In the preferred form of the invention, shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive of the drawing, a-vertical support is indicated at 10 and has therein screws 11, the heads of which are receivable in bayonet slots 12 formed in an arm 13 of a bracket, which is generally indicated at 14.

line 3--3 arms 16 adapted `to support or display various articles of merchandise such, for example, as neckties. The stem rod 15 is projected through aligned apertures formed in two spaced par-Y allel horizontal arms 17 and 18 of the bracket 14 and threaded onto a threaded portion of the stem rod 15 on opposite sides of the arm 18 is alpair of binding nuts 19 and 20. Attached tov orcarried use andeconomical in manu-i 1 The new supporting device includes `a vertical stem rod 15 upon which are revolvably mounted ingv device includes a clamping `arm 23`whichprojects laterally forwardly from the attaching armV 13 of the bracketlso asto grip the pole 22 on the upper side thereof and on the'side of the pole diametrically oppositethe clamping element 21.

v i Hingedly connected'to the clamping arm 23' at` An object of this invention is to provide an im- 24^ is a latch arm25.v 'Slidably ymountedfon anf'f arm 276 ofthe bracket 14 isa latch 'element'27 which is adapted, when in the full line position of Fig. 2, to .embrace Athe lower end portion ofthev latch arm 25. When thus latched to the farm 26? of the bracket the latch arm 25.acts as a support for the relatively thin and yieldable metal clamping arm 23 and prevents bending of the latter f.

v under load or when the arms 16 are weighted.

The stem rod 15 and the clamping element 21 carried thereby may be adjusted vertically rela` tive to the bracket 14, by manipulating the bind-V -ing Vnuts 19 and 20, and by thus adjustingthe stem rod 15 the clamping elements 21 and 23 may bers or poles'22 of dilerent diameters.l

In the form ofthe invention kshown in Figs. 4 and 5 the bracket of the new supporting device is.

generally indicated at 28 and includes a rela- 4,tively stiff, arm 29for attachment to a vertical f 'support, such'a's' 10; Vand to this end the arm line 2--2 in Fig. 1;

29 has a plate 30 integrally fastened thereto and provided with bayonet slots `31 for the reception of the heads of screws, suchas 11.

The modication shown in Figs. 4' and 5 includes la vertical stem 32,` similar to the stem 15,

and having a threaded portion projected through ing element37 which cooperates with a relatively rigid arm 38of Vthe bracket 28 to clamp the. horizontal supporting member or pole 22 on 'diametrically opposite sides thereof.

-The stem 32 and clamping element 37 may be adjusted vertically relative tou the bracket 28, by adjusting the binding nuts 35 and'36, so as to ac commodate the clamping elements 3'7 and 33 to horizontal supporting poles 22.1of different di-V 75 Y be accommodated to horizontal supporting memf '9c 32o'nlopposite sides of the portion V33 of bracket r Yarm 29 is a pair of binding nuts 35 and 36 and 7 carried by the stem 32 at its uppercnd is a clampillustrated and described the variations and modifications as come within the scope ofthe appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I` claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patl ent is:

A supporting device comprising a bracket having a portion for attachment to a vertical support, saidbracket including a clamping element adapted to Lgrip a horizontal support on the upper side thereof and includinga horizontal arm having an aperture formed therein, a vertical supporting stem rod'phavingla threaded portion projectedthrough said aperture, a pair of binding element and having its lower endportion vlatohable to said 'latch element to support and reenforce thev first-named clamping element.
